You might try a clean install of the driver. Update overwrite is pretty safe but always has that miniscule chance of not working. If that doesn’t work, try rolling back to the previous driver version.

Do these drivers lower hash rate on non-LHR ampere parts?

Edit: the answer is no, they do not.

Are you using HDMI? You might want to check and see if your audio source got changed

Well, I've updated to the latest driver and also to the latest W10 21H1 build with wild abandon and alas, no bsod, with everything working smoothly, sigh. Not tried playing a game yet though. Hopefully, that will break something lol.

Every time i update my drivers windows wants to make the "nvidia high definition audio device" my default sound device even though I am using display port.
...And every time i go back in and disable the device in device mgr.. Might give it a shot.

I would guess not. Also little point in doing so when a user can roll back to previous version. Plus previous drivers that limited hashrate did not affect prior cards. My guess is that the new driver limits hashrate only if it detects a specific hardware ID on one of the new LHR series cards.

Start your own thread for assistance, this is a News thread.

...And every time i go back in and disable the device in device mgr..

This is why it changes back to the default every time. When the new driver gets installed, the device is automatically re-enabled. When Windows sees a new sound output device it assumes that device should be the default output. If you don't disable the device but instead just change the default device manually in the sound control panel, it won't change every time you update the driver.

But even if it does end up switching output after a driver update, it's like 3 clicks to switch back to the correct audio output device.

Disabling it in the Windows Sound panel instead avoids that.
It functions as an "ignore" button instead of outright disabling the driver.

Sometimes it selects the NVIDIA High Definition Device, this is away from your default sound output device, go to your sound settings and change it back to whatever your default sound device is.

yeah, it get annoying that nvidia gets selected as the audio default driver for awhile, but i expect it anymore.
